The Gomel region in Belarus suffered heavily due to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, with many people choosing to relocate and foreign investors apprehensive about lingering radiation. FEZ Gomel-Raton was established to overcome this stigma and bring jobs back to the area. In 2018, 48.1% of all investments made in the Gomel region were in the free economic zone and 43.8% of all goods exported from the region were made by its residents.








Getting a nomination in this magazine determines the status of Free Economic Zone “Gomel-Raton” as an international investment platform attractive for business development.
